Health promotion and early detection are priorities to prevent and treat cervical cancer. One method of early detection that is simple and can be done is to carry out an IVA test (Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid), this examination is very easy to do and the results will be visible in 2-3 minutes. Therefore, the South Paringin Community Health Center is holding a free mass examination to detect cervical cancer early, the activity will be held on December 9 2023 at the South Paringin Community Health Center which starts at 09.00 WITA, participants in this activity are women who are married and actively in a relationship. sex, funding for this activity comes from the APBD budget of the Balangan Regency P2PL Midwife Health Service. From this activity, the results showed that 59 women underwent examinations out of a target number of 80 people (73.75%) with negative IVA test results of 59 people, and there was an increase in achievement from the previous 7.5% to 81.25%.
